On current master 1c989ed
/Documentation/op-guide/supported-platform.md
says

etcd has known issues on 32-bit systems due to a bug in the Go runtime

This seems incorrect. Unless you are suggesting that all int64 in structs should be aligned to 64-bit boundaries and lead to increased memory usage for the common case. Likewise, it seems impossible for a compile to check all uses of an exported symbol to check if it is used with "sync/atomic".

Unless I'm misunderstanding the scope of the issue, an initial grep only shows 14 files that use "sync/atomic", it should be easy to do a check for alignment on these files.

At the very least, it seems incorrect to blame this on a bug in the Go runtime. I do understand there may be limits with how memory is mapped and that there isn't a builder for those archs or other limits may apply for general "support".
